Hey peeps! I'm so sorry it's been sooooo long since my last blog post..life has literally taken over...well...my life! But I'm so excited to be writing again and I promise it won't be so long for the next one!
So a little update, I have found my wedding dress! That's right! I found it a week today, I was quite surprised I found it on the first appointment I was actually only going to have a browse and see what suits me and what doesn't, but when I was wearing it, I just knew. I cried. Yep. Like a baby. And so did a few of my family members.
So I thought, now that I have my dress I can play around with things like my hair, makeup to give me an idea on what I want on the day, and this look is one of those "playing around"
I know, I know, I know! My wedding is still over a year away, but hey..what else am I going to do on my day off?! Errands? Nah.
So of course I do the same foundation routine as I have before.
The eye shadow palette I use for this look is Sleek Makeup, and its called 'Au Naturel 601'
So I start by applying this shade which is called 'Honeycomb' on the crease of my eye lids and sort of wing it out and end of my eye.
I then apply this to the outer corner of my eye with my flat eye makeup brush, this shade is called 'Regal' and blend it with my blending brush, I blend it upwards to where I applied the honeycomb shade. Then I just do what I normally do and keep adding that colour and blend it in until I'm happy. If you want to add quite a lot to make it that bit smokey, go for it!
I put this shade 'Nubuck' on my eye lids. Whenever I think of smokey, the colours that come to my mind are, brown, grey, white and black, so this colour is perfect for the eye lids.
I also apply this colour 'Nougat' on top of the other colour just to add a bit of shimmer to it.
I then add this black shade in 'Noir' in the outer corner of my eyes where I put the brown shade, and blend, blend. Because I wanted it quite smokey I did add more than I normally would.
I finally add this shade 'Taupe' in the inner of my eyes, almost using it as a highlighter just to really make my eyes pop and sparkle.
After I apply all the different shades of eyeshadow, I then use my black pencil eyeliner under my eye, to make it really dark and also on my waterline..I also then rub the eyeliner on my waterline with my finger, just so it smudges slightly. Then just to make it that extra smokey I add the brown shade with an eyeliner brush just under the waterline.
Then to finish off my eyes I add my liquid eyeliner, and I really get it as close to my tear duct and finished it with a cat flick. I then add mascara to the top and bottom lashes.
I then apply this Avon lipstick, I think this colour is beautiful and its quite subtle, so it won't take the focus off your beautiful smokey eyes.
I love this look, it isn't very often I wear quite heavy makeup on my eyes, but when I do..I really make an effort. But it didn't even take take that long to do, its just all about the blending!
To make this look even more, you can add fake eyelashes.
I hope you enjoyed this look, and I promise..there is a lot more to come!
S'laters!
